B-Line Eaton series strut channel, 1.62" channel height, 240" channel length, 1.62" channel width, Steel, 14 Gauge, B24 channel type, Stainless steel

It is type 304 stainless steel, not a galvanized or painted carbon steel strut. That is the version to specify for wet, washdown, coastal, or chemically aggressive areas where zinc coating would fail at cut ends and drilled holes. If the run is indoors and dry, a plain or pre-galvanized B24 does the same mechanical job for less material cost.

Yes. The B24 opening is a 1.62 inch wide by 1.62 inch deep section, the common 1-5/8 inch strut profile, so channel nuts, spring nuts, conduit straps, and pipe clamps made for 1-5/8 inch strut seat in it. In a stainless run, use stainless fittings and hardware as well, otherwise the carbon steel nut corrodes first and you lose the benefit of the 304 channel.

Order by model B24-240 SS4 from Eaton B-Line. The B24 designates the channel profile, 240 is the length in inches, and SS4 is the type 304 stainless material. Quote that full string, since the same B24 profile is sold in other lengths and other materials.

Yes, 14 gauge steel channel cuts with a bandsaw, chop saw with a metal blade, or portaband. Because it is solid 304 stainless rather than a coated carbon steel, a cut end needs no touch up paint or cold galvanizing, just deburring. Use a blade or wheel that has not been used on carbon steel so you do not embed iron particles in the cut face.
